Ethnic Minorities Deserve Safe Spaces Without White People | Aeman Ansari:
Doing so will help the public and the media have a better understanding of the purpose and value of these spaces.
However, the point to note is not that two white students were asked to leave the event, but rather that this was a safe space and that we as a newsroom, as a campus and as a society are not as knowledgeable as we should be about what these spaces mean.
It's not just important, but it's essential, for marginalized groups to have safe spaces on campus to engage with people who understand what they go through.
Though this group is funded by Ryerson's student union, it works to serve a particular group and a particular purpose.
...These spaces are rare places in the world not controlled by individuals who have power, who have privilege.
...Segregation was imposed on people of colour by people of privilege, not the other way around.
The very fact that individuals organizing to help each other get through social barriers and injustices are being attacked and questioned for their peaceful assembly is proof that they were right to exclude those students.
Racialized people experience systemic discrimination on a daily basis, on many levels, and in ways that white people may never encounter.
The whole point of these safe spaces is to remove that power dynamic.
That's partly what makes them spaces for healing...
Read the rest of this drivel and realize how easy it is to make hate sound..... justified?
